Joy is Dogs, with Emily Maitlis

Honey & Co: The Food Sessions is back for season 11 with a brand new theme: JOY.

In times like these, when the world can feel a little overwhelming, it’s more important than ever to seek out and savour the joy wherever we can find it. Working in restaurants, we have three moments in a day to bring joy: breakfast, lunch and dinner, but what about the moments in between? This question is at the heart of the latest season of The Food Sessions which sees us sit down with brilliant people from all walks of life: chefs, broadcasters, comedians and fashion designers to not only talk about what they do day-to-day, but also to explore the passions that enrich their lives.

In this episode we talk to British journalist and news presenter, Emily Maitlis. She notably presented the BBC Flagship nightly current affairs show Newsnight where she specialised in election coverage in the UK and the USA. She's interviewed countless prime ministers, the Dalai Lama, and has been played by both Gillian Anderson and Ruth Anderson in drama adaptations exploring the story of her interview with Prince Andrew. Emily now hosts The News Agents, the Global daily news podcast, with Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall. It was such a delight to have Emily in the studio and to turn the questions on her for once! Itamar gave her a joyful grilling on all the important things – from fish with tomato (good or bad?) to her earliest memories of joy (a gerbil called Humphrey and birthday teas featuring heavily) to how her herb garden brings her peace and tranquility today.
